The free process mapping tool that builds your diagram from a spreadsheet

ProcessMapping.app is free. There is no signup, no email gate, no trial period, and nothing to install. Open the editor, edit the spreadsheet, and the swimlane diagram renders as you type. When you need cloud save, team sharing, or approvals, you upgrade to QueryChart — but the editor itself is free forever.

Start mapping — it's free

The editor is open and ready. Edit the spreadsheet, the diagram renders as you type. No signup required.

What "free" means here

Everything in the in-browser editor is free with no account required. Your work is saved automatically in your browser. No watermarks, no export caps, no "free for 14 days" countdown.

No signup or email required to use the editor.
No download or installation — runs in any modern browser.
No export watermarks. PNG export is free.
Your work is saved locally in your browser so it survives a reload.
Optional paid upgrade to QueryChart for cloud save, version history, approvals, and team collaboration — but that's separate from this editor.

How the spreadsheet-driven workflow works

Most flowchart tools start from an empty canvas — you drag boxes onto it and draw the connectors yourself. ProcessMapping.app starts from a spreadsheet instead. One row per process step; columns control the step name, the shape (Start, Process, Decision, End), the connections, and the swimlane assignment. The diagram on the right updates in real time.

If you already keep process notes in Excel, Google Sheets, or a CSV export, the same data drops straight in. No re-typing, no re-formatting, no manual layout.

What you can build for free

The free editor covers the everyday process-mapping use cases:

Cross-functional swimlane diagrams with horizontal or vertical lanes.
Start / Process / Decision / End shape semantics.
Multi-branch connectors with labels (Yes / No, Approve / Reject).
Step numbering for cross-references.
Theme and color controls.
PNG export to drop into a doc, deck, or wiki.

When to upgrade to QueryChart

The free editor is the editor. When you outgrow saving in your browser, that's the upgrade point. QueryChart is the paid platform we built ProcessMapping.app on top of — cloud save, version history, approvals, audit trail, comments, team workspaces, and compliance documentation. Save a chart on ProcessMapping.app, sign up, and your chart migrates to your new account.

Frequently asked questions

Is ProcessMapping.app actually free?

Yes. The editor is free with no account required. No signup, no trial, no watermark. Your work is saved in your browser.

Do I need to create an account?

No. The editor opens immediately. Edit, export, done. Accounts are only needed if you upgrade to QueryChart for cloud save and team features.

Are there usage limits on the free tier?

The free in-browser editor doesn't gate diagram size or PNG export. Your work persists in browser storage. Cloud features (saving across devices, sharing with teammates, version history) live on QueryChart.

Will my work be lost when I close the tab?

No. Your chart is saved automatically in your browser's storage. It's still there when you come back. To carry it between browsers or devices, upgrade to QueryChart and the chart migrates to your account.

Can I export the diagram?

Yes, PNG export is free. Drop the image into a doc, deck, wiki, or chat. PDF and SVG export are available on QueryChart's paid plans.

What's the difference between the free editor and QueryChart?

The free editor is the editor. QueryChart is the platform — cloud save, approvals, version history, audit trail, comments, team workspaces. Use ProcessMapping.app for the diagram; upgrade to QueryChart when the diagram needs to live in a team workflow.

Ready to map your first process?

The editor opens with a starter template. Edit the spreadsheet to define your process — the diagram updates as you type. No signup required to get started.
